Wednesday, April 19, 2023 –Police have canceled a scheduled town hall meeting organised by the Azimio la Umoja Coalition.
The coalition meeting was set to be held in Murang’a County on Thursday, April 20, with former Murang’a County Governor Mwangi wa Iria hosting the group.
Murang’a police commander David Mathiu rejected Azimio’s request to hold the meeting, saying that police are already deployed elsewhere and they needed an earlier notification in order to prepare for the meeting.
According to Mathiu, a notice needs to have been submitted four days before, and Azimio presented it on Tuesday, two days before their planned meeting. “As a result, the meeting will not be allowed to take place”.
Raila Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, George Wajackoyah, Mwangi wa Iria and Jeremiah Kioni were expected to grace the meeting.
The former Murang’a governor was at Murang’a police station on Tuesday to submit the notice, saying the meeting will be purely an engagement forum between the leaders and the locals with the main agenda being seeking inclusion in the government.
“We are coming to engage the people… those who have been asking why Murang’a has not participated in the national debate calling for a reduction in the cost of living, finally we are here,” he said.
The event would be Azimio’s inaugural town hall meeting in the Mt. Kenya region, days after holding another in Nairobi on April 13.
Trade unions, farmers’ associations, small businesses, civil society organisations, veterans, human rights activists, intellectuals and faith-based organisations were among parties invited to attend.
